Happy New Year! Only a month or so late! I always get around to things, just on my own time schedule! December was crazy for us, as was January. February kicked off in a good way for me because I finally moved out of my inky-dinky office in the house to a new office trailer out back! Yea! I've been working in a tiny laundry room like space for years now, with barely enough room for file cabinets... not to mention the issue of children using the same computer, spilling drinks on the keyboards (not kidding, went through 4 keyboards last fall), etc. etc. Now everything has a place... I have a copy/sort room, filing room, my office, and Mike's office... wonderfully organized. It's all good on the business front... Slowing down... I can finally take a break!The family got away this weekend to Fort Bragg. We always get so lucky when we go to the coast, the sun always seems to be shining! This weekend was just like the rest and we spent our time geocaching, shopping, playing on the beach and lounging around... One of the things that we like about geocaching is that it gets us off the beaten trail... to places we would never have known existed without our little gps pointing the way. This trip's highlight was finding the Cabrillo Point Light Station, between Fort Bragg & Mendocino. It's about 1/2 mile walk back to the station where there is obviously a large rotating light in a building, a museum, etc. but the coolest part was the water. This particular point is rocky with inlets and the water is agitated to the point that it appears a light blue turquoise... so unlike what one is used to seeing on the north coast! I could have sat on those rough rocks for hours reading. Fabulous spot and we are sure to return there in the near future. The collage above shows a few shots from the light station, glass beach, etc. from this weekend. Our next trip to the ocean will probably not be until June, when we plan to go back to Bandon Oregon and do a bit of motorcycling on the dunes. Can't wait!
